And I agreed that the statement was valid. It was the wording I had a problem
with.

I’m not sure what you found unfortunately worded about my post. I am asking a
valid question: is the LEGO Factory TOS’ prohibition on the depiction of
human beings an attempt to placate Muslim consumers, or does it have some
other explanation?

Had it been worded like above I would have had no problem with it at all, and
would have looked the topic up or asked about it. As it was you said “Is this
some sort of Islamic thing?” which can potentially be taken quite badly. Even
had you said “Is this some sort of fundamentalist Islamic thing?” I still would
have been happy with it.

The idea of a Scandinavian company kowtowing to Muslim fundamentalists is not
unprecedented:

“We have over 200 warehouses around the world and have to take cultural

The history of companies (in general) kowtowing to religious fundamentalists (in
general) is not unprecedented either. The fallout from Janet Jackson’s breast
being the most obvious example I can remember recently, although I know there
are plenty more.
